  • Sunday Voting is Fair Voting
    Voting on Thursdays as opposed to Sundays is great for old retired folk with little to do, but is clearly not great for busy young people probably working on zero hours contracts and with children to take to, and collect from, school. About 50 other countries use Sunday. Just one other country uses Thursday. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Election_day If 2% of the electorate cannot vote it can change the result of a referendum. Sunday Voting is Fair Voting.

  • Parliamentary Elections by Proportional Representation
    1. The influence of the 2 main parties (both currently in chaos) is reduced avoiding the confrontational debates (- and we can have a new circular debating chamber outside London designed to avoid opposing benches) 2. Minor parties (Greens, UKIP) get fairer representation. 3. The Labour and Conservative parties could split yet still retain their voices. 4.The resulting Coalitions require politicians to COMPROMISE. 5. We avoid being governed by a party which represents a minority of the people.

  • Bar Nigel Farage from all Greene King pubs
    Whether by accident or design, Nigel Farage has become strongly linked to Greene King IPA. Pubs quite rightly bar some people for their unpleasant or offensive behaviour that upsets decent, well-behaved customers. I'm sure that I and many others were deeply offended and embarrassed by Nigel Farage's recent speech in the European Parliament and would not want to drink in any of your pubs if he were there. Please make Greene King pubs a safe space for decent people

  • Stop the TPP and TISA entering the UK by the back door
    The TPP and TISA will give multinational companies powers which are above the Law. Many people voted to get out of Europe because they agreed with Labour veteran Tony Benn and wanted to stop this agreement in its tracks. There has been very little media coverage of agreements like this which gives corporate entities huge legal powers. Open and honest discussion is essential and long overdue.

  • Ban fracking in Scotland - NOW
    Fracking affects us all - Scotland is beautiful, its our greatest asset and fracturing the earth to obtain natural gas will lead to multiple issues affecting peoples everyday lives. Our water table is at risk, fracking involves drilling and injecting water, sand and chemicals hundreds of feet into the earth. This results in contamination of deep water sources. Climate change, because fracking can seriously damage the water supply, then the whole cycle of water in the environment is affected, this may lead to drought increase. Peoples Health is affected, methane gas in the air, chemical pollutants in the water. There are cancer concerns in areas where fracking has been prevalent. Property affected negatively in fracking areas, insurance companies refusing to insure buildings. Smell of gas in the air. Noise of drilling especially in rural and semi rural areas, affecting quality of life for humans and animals alike. Jobs promised - far fewer jobs than promised Cheap gas - evidence suggests this is not the case There are many more reasons, but let's stop it happening here. Let's stop big business and cronyism benefiting at our expense, stop them by-passing planning and environmental laws to suit their own ends. Stop them ruining our fantastic country. Sign this petition and urge Scottish Government to ban fracking NOW.

  • 3 Steps to a Democratic Brexit
    Submission of the Article 50 Notice will start an irreversible process that will have profound consequences for decades to come. The electorate must have an opportunity to give their informed consent, so the Prime Minister, Parliament, and the public, can be be confident that this momentous step has the full backing of the British people.

  • UKIP MEP'S: Donate EU salary to the NHS
    Although not part of the official campaign, Nigel Farage and UKIP did nothing to dispel the claim that we could give £350 million a week to our NHS. Already however, it has come to light that this is unrealistic, which has led many voters to feel they were misled by those who promoted Leave. Although it is not much, it is better than nothing. MEP's earn around €96,000 per year. Although the UK has voted to leave the European Union, until Article 50 is triggered (which as it looks now, could take some time), the UK will still send MEP's to European Parliament. Having campaigned as they have for the UK to leave, and against the European Union, it no longer seems fair they still take their approximate €96,000 yearly salary, plus expenses. Either they should stop claiming EU money, or it should be put to better use. We are asking them to give it to the NHS as a gesture of how committed they are to improving the service.

  • Brexit - Finish the job
    As a result of the recent #Brexit referendum, world economies generally have been adversely affected with predictions of long term recession particularly for the UK. It beggars belief that our current government is now focused on internal party leadership matters and effectively washing its hands of the affair. Irrespective of individual positions and points of view concerning the referendum and its result, we now need our government to move quickly, clearly and decisively to manage the UK's exit from the EU.

  • Unite to Remain
    The Referendum victory was based on lies and fear and is already having devastating social and financial consequences. Many voters are already appalled by the reality of what has been chosen. We should not just accept the result of an election won by lies. Not least among these lies was the promise of extra money for the NHS- money now pouring away in extra debt repayments as the UK's credit rating drops. People were conned. We call on all major parties to demand a General Election and to come together in every constituency to offer a single Remain candidate, standing on a ticket of solidarity for Europe and for tolerance and social cohesion. A Remain block could win, producing a mandate to overturn a Referendum vote that was driven by dishonest claims, impossible promises and hate-filled propaganda. We are stronger when we work together for the common good.

  • English in support of Scottish Parliament blocking Brexit
    The English were misled by a series of lies and omissions of fact by the Brexit campaign. Their main stance on anti-immigration and financial redirection of EU funds to the NHS has since been redacted less than a week after their victory in the referendum, a victory which was based significantly on these two statements of intent. In addition to these mistruths, it is now becoming clear that there are significant financial consequences personally, nationally and internationally to this rash and unchallenged position and the consequences of the Brexit vote are further deep reaching than the Brexit camp ever admitted to. Brexit ran their campaign on a series of rejections of qualified statements from national and international institutions such as the CBI, IMF and the Bank of England amongst international partners such as the USA, Australia and New Zealand as well as our EU partners who all rejected the role of Brexit as a solution to any perceived or real EU issues. In rejecting these qualified statements, Brexit consistently failed to provide adequate evidence against these esteemed institutions whilst at the same time providing little to no evidence of their own ability to manage the subsequent fallout economically and the socially divisive nature of a successful Brexit result, both nationally and on the world stage. As a consequence, I appeal to the English who did not support Brexit or who have subsequently come to realise both the shallow nature of the abilities of the Brexit campaigners to actually effectively manage Brexit and the already occurring consequences to show that Scotland is not alone amongst the UK but is supported by the English who wish to remain within the EU, fighting not for a divided Europe but for a better EU. Thank you.

  • Hold an open democratic election for the job of england manager
    The role of england manager is a public role not unlike a politician and therefore should be democratically elected. We demand an open election to democratically select the next england manager after the immediate dismissal of the non-performing Roy Hodgson.
